The Pixel, which is available this week, is just the first
device of a slew of new hardware products from Google. In a few
weeks, it'll release the Google Home connected speaker, a new
router called Google Wifi, and a new version of the Chromecast
that works with 4K TVs.

It's still too early to judge whether Google's new emphasis on
hardware can match the scale of companies like Apple and Samsung.
It'll be years before that happens. But the company is off to a
good start.
